SIMON CAMERON ON POLITICAL
PARTIES.

PARTIES.
Pennsylvania's political veteran, SIMON
CAMERON, has just sailed for the Bermudas
to spend q season in a tropical climate. He
is now eighty-nine years old and has seen
every political party of the country in its
successes and defeats, and has been an
actor in man of the most important events
in political history.
In conversation with a New York World
| representative, as he vas emharking for the
Bermudas, he said:
In looking back over these intervening
wears ! find that | have seen and often
/ times been q part of the successes and de-
/ feats of every political party that has lived
in this country to any purpose. remem-
Der the contest between the Federaiists
and the Democrats, and early took my po.
| sition with the Democratic party, because
il was then liberal in its views, broad III
ITS statesmanship and championed the
cause of the common people. The arlsto-
cratic Federal party was succeeded by the
/ Whigs, who were fully rs conservative
! and almost as high in tone. They sue
eeeded once OF twice, only by ac-
| cident, as that party never pos
sessed the elements OF popular favor. The
Democratic party lived longer in success
/ ful achievement thar any other, for the
! reason that il stood closer to the people.
| But during the first sentimental combat
with slavery it drifted into the champion
shin of that curse on our national life and
thus slid away from the general sentiment
until il WAS destroyed in the vortex OF
civil strife. The Republican party was
born of the issue for human rights, which
the Democratic party denied-rights for
the whites rs well as the blacks. As long
AS it held carefully and earnestly to that
idea il WAS inviucible. When its leaders
began to quarrel and lacked courage IN
standing by the fundamental principles OF
the organization d~isintegratiOn began and
final overthrow came from 4 lack OF dis
cipline and a disregard of the generalship
Necessary to the success OF any party or
ganizatiOn. The Democratic party has
the best political soldiers in the world.
The leaders look well after the rank and
file, and, rs a general rule, there Is no
contention against the party mandate
no matter what it is. This is rs 1T
should be. No party can live without
obedience to its behests and without a
complete union of its forces upon all ques-
tionS of party policy. The only independ-
enCe there can be Of any value is by action
inside the organization ana obedience to
its DEGREES. No party can long succeed
whose members set up their individual
Judgments against the popular will, and
! no man has ever yet been found strong
enough, from the President down, to dis
regard his paIty's behests and succeed.
From t~hree-quarters of a century of OBJ
~seryatiOn in the rise and fall of parties,
CAMERoS's words on party organization
have a peculiar significance and weight.
The Democracy OF West Virginia should
read and ponder.

The Washington Star says: The an.

at the conduct of two or three of the
newspaper representatives who have
been in the habit OF fattending his noon
receptions, is not at all unnatural,
The wonder is, rather, that he has en-.

of which he and his guests have been
made the victims. Liberties have beey

Last week the greatest landown,

Last week the greatest landowner
in New York State made an assign.
ment for the benefit of his creditors,
his assets consisting chiefly OF farms
in Oneida, Otsego, Madison, Chanango,
and other countries OF central New
York. 1t is believed that the proper.
ty will sell under the hammer for ST..
500, 600 or more, and the whole OF it
had been worked for all that hard,
avaricions mnn like George Clark, the
land-ereedy bankrupt in question,
could not get out OF it by screwine
rents up to the last notch. Yet the
result was ruin, just as it was in the
case OF the great Sullivant estates in
Illinois which, a few years ago, contain.
ed more than As, 900 acres of land.
Both experiments in landlordism on a
huge scale proved dismal failures be.
cause the craze for land-buylng led to
a vast credit system which turned all
the revenues of the farms into the. in.
satiable NAV OF the mortrage holders.

Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions.

A dispatch from San Francisco OF the
4th says that Tuesdays earthquake
shock extended from Centerville, CAL.
through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and
Mexico. The shocks were preceded by
heavy, rumbling explosions. Several build
ings were badly damaged at Benson and Tue
son, Ariz. When the shock struck Santa
Catalina mountain great slices Of themount-
ain were torn from the summit and thrown
to its base. The crest Of the mountain,
one towering peak known as Old Castle, a
prominent landmark, has entirely disap-
peared. Shortly after the quake volcano
broke out twenty-five miles south of Tue
son in the Tolal Wreck mountains. Where
ever the shocks were felt the people were
ic-stricken, but nobody was injured.
1t was the first earthquake in Arizona
for twenty years. Ten m lies from Tomb
stone q lake covering an acre of ground
completely disappeared.
A dispatch from Benson, Ariz., says:
The volcanic eruption is pronounced gen.
uine. Parties who were on a train say
ain. Lava and smoke can be seen from
the streets of Benson, nearly twenty miles
away from the disturbance. No one has
yet personally inspected the marvellous
discovery, but;parties are arranging to go
there in private conveyances, when par
ticulars can be learned. At first it was
thought woods were on fire, but the con.
stancy OF burning indicates that it is un-
doubtedly a volcano caused by the earth
quake. Another volcano is said to be
in existence in the Cataling mountains.
Smoke is now pouring forth from White
stones. Authentic news from Wilcox is
that another volcano has made it's ap-
pearance in Winchester mountain, forty
miles from Wilcox.
Little Falls transcript., 1887-05-13
Natural Selection. .

Grant Allen, in the Fortnightly Review,
has given an interesting article on Love.
He does not seem to agree with Sir George
Campbell who would have husbands and
wives selected for each other on scientific
principles: He thinks that the voice of
nature is far better than the dictum of the
Lord Chancellor or the Royal Society;
that it not foolish fancies OF youth that
will have to be got rid of, but the fool
ish, wicked and mischievous in
terference OF parents or outsiders.
This is quite in the vein OF an address by
DR.. Foote, Jr., at Metropolitan Hall, On
the occasion OF the first meeting OF the
Auxiliary Hereditary Association in this
city some years ago. If there is to be in
terference it ought to be VIII oily on scien-
tific grounds, and scientific interference
mis- int many times offset to advantage the
meddlesomeness OF parents and friends.
The best way would be to have young
people we'll instructed in the laws OF tenn
peramental adaptation and in everything
appertaining to Heredity, and then leave
them to their own fancies.-From Foote'S
Health Monthly.
